EASD hears application for proposed charter school

Some say because Easton Area School District has slashed so many teachers and programs in recent years, it should have a charter school in the district that will have smaller class sizes and provide more hands-on learning for children.

Others say the cash-strapped school district shouldn't have a charter school that would "drain the district of money" and take some of its children away.

And now it's up to the school board to decide whether it should give the green light to the proposed Strong Foundations Charter School.
